@Noahgilberto19 give me a double count out / disqualification and a game six at Full Gear

[Ray Petree @ray_petree]

@AidanThaGod Skydance just sent out a 31-page shareholder letter, and AEW wasn't named once. Even they don't find it very relevant.

I get what you're saying, but I think you're conflating wrestling's visibility. AEW is niche. Even if it's significantly less niche than other niche stuff

[Ray Petree @ray_petree]

@Guidovoolik @WrestleOps I always wanted to see him shoot lightning at people during the match, and then I started kindergarten

[Ray Petree @ray_petree]

@Hunter3397 @WrestleOps No. No they don’t lol

Watching Doink the Clown or Honky Tonk Man wrestle is ridiculous. It looks ridiculous. I only accept it because I love this shit.

The cognitive dissonance is unreal.

[Ray Petree @ray_petree]

@smokeybobjr710 @AidanThaGod I know anecdotal evidence is pointless, but I was hired by the news outlet I work for, for the expressed purpose of being an AEW columnist.

When I tell people what I write about, they have no idea what I’m talking about. I wish that weren’t true, but it’s just the way it is lol

[Ray Petree @ray_petree]

@uscfan981 is he not available because he’s dead or…? I know it’s not because he’s actually in the conversation. He wasn’t even the best wrestler in his own era.

[Ray Petree @ray_petree]

@HighLifeSenpai yeah but it does seem like he’d pay for some escorts

[Ray Petree @ray_petree]

@aewfanhub @bradgilmore @AEW @WWE @PerfectMetcalf thank you for the question!

[Ray Petree @ray_petree]

@aewfanhub @bradgilmore @AEW @WWE It was a real pleasure conducting this interview, on the Fan Hub’s behalf! There’s a lot to sink your teeth into here, including a great story about Bryan Keith

[Ray Petree @ray_petree]

It was a real pleasure conducting this interview on @aewfanhub’s behalf.

@bradgilmore’s schedule is enough to make any newsman’s head spin, but he’s not afraid to do the work.

[Fan Hub of AEW @aewfanhub]

Here is our really great interview with Brad Gilmore. He talks about becoming a wrestling fan, how he got into the business, his career, and writing his books, including his newest release, "Making the Towns". @bradgilmore @AEW @WWE https://t.co/pXIzjhP8Zi

[Ray Petree @ray_petree]

@DeansCanon @MLW if MLW is looking for its fraction, it should galvanize a niche audience and see how far it can take it. the world yearns for shoot style

[Ray Petree @ray_petree]

Picture it now.

WALTER. Continental Classic. 2027.

[Ray Petree @ray_petree]

My 200th byline for @AugFreePress. It's only fitting that it's the sort of list-slop that got my foot in the door over a decade ago.

In the spirit of the PWI500, here's my power rankings of the best AEW and WWE wrestlers exiting Crown Jewel weekend.

@WrestleOps @WONF4W it upsets me how excited I am at the prospect of Gunther leaving, because of this

[Ray Petree @ray_petree]

@AngusLegstrong would love to see Davis & Doyle force the Young Bucks to submit via stereo bear hugs

[Crab Ride Goon @AngusLegstrong]

Next time you think a bear hug is a hokey spot remember this

[Ray Petree @ray_petree]

The Best Member of the Shield vs. The Best Horsewomen

[All Elite Wrestling @AEW]

#AEWDynamite/#AEWCollision Wed 11/11
@JayWhiteNZ/@MercedesVarnado vs @JonMoxley/@MarinaShafir
Mercedes interrupted the Death Riders after their win tonight, allowing Jay White & The Cut to jump them! With their Full Gear battles looming, the 4 fight in a Mixed Tag THIS WEDNESDAY!

[Ray Petree @ray_petree]

I’m a proponent of retiring when the time is right. If Chris Jericho rode off into the sunset after Quake by the Lake in 2022, that would’ve been one hell of a coda.

[Wrestle Ops @WrestleOps]

Chris Jericho turns 56.
